Hi,
I supervise an underwater criminal investigations team. There is no reason law enforcement should not be anxious to check this out. I suspect the folks you talked to are not very imaginative. If the local police aren't equipped to do this and don't want to then I would contact the state police. I suspect they can get divers on it PDQ.
FWIW, most dive teams have a minimum number of dives they must make every month and they often just do training dives to get the stats. Diving on a real call is much better as it can solve a crime and result in better stats for the dive team. At budget time when every dollar being spent is scrutinized it is better to recover a stolen vehicle than to put down a training dive.
God forbid there is a stiff in the car but if so I bet they could budget themselves new drysuits next year and actually get them.
Call the state police or contact the local dive team directly and let them know of the car. They are like the Maytag repairman just waiting for the call to come in. Let us know what they find.
